Navient is a computerized surgical navigation system intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous neurosurgical procedures.

The Navient system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, can be identified relative to a CT, MR based model of the anatomy.

Indications:

Example procedures include but are not limited to:

• Cranial Procedures:
• Tumor resections
• · Cranial biopsies
• · Craniotomies
• · Pediatric Catheter Shunt Placement
• General Catheter Shunt Placement

Navient is an image quided navigational system intended to assist with preoperative planning and real-time positioning of surgical tools during stereotaxic procedures via (infrared) tracking technology. The system is essentially composed of a computerized main unit (computer), a Navient IR CameraBox, Navient cart, Navient navigation software, and corresponding accessory sets intended for specific clinical applications.

Navient's quidance function is based on the patient images acquired prior to the procedure, combined with optical measurements of the pose of navigated instruments relative to the patient's anatomy. To enable navigation, the reference instrument/accessory is attached to the patient to enable tracking of the patient's anatomy. The patient images are then spatially registered with the patient's anatomy by matching landmark locations marked on both the image and the patient, followed by matching a path traced by the user on the patient's anatomy with a model of patient's anatomical surface automatically generated from the image data.

Depending on the desired clinical application, the Navient system also includes the following instrument/accessory kits. These reusable instruments are intended to be sterilized/disinfected prior to use.

• Cranial Accessory Kit (955-NC-AKC) o
• Biopsy Accessory Kit (955-NC-AKB) O

Disposable tracker instruments are also available based on user preference.
